“To be aware of the situation in which one finds oneself and the consequences that may grow out of it must be the aim of every person who wants to guide their life rather than merely drift with the current. Search for this knowledge by way of oracles has occurred in all times. Modern psychology has shown us the substructures of the human psyche that are the source of our strivings to see meaning and order in what is apparently coincidental. Out of this grows our conscious attempt to fit ourselves into the content of this order, so that, in the parallelism between what is without and what is within us, the position and course of the one may also be meaningful for the other.”

Richard Wilhelm “Understanding the I Ching.”

Through many years of research Peter Mandel has developed a treatment system projecting hexagrams of the I Ching onto the skin. In his research on the I Ching Peter Mandel has studied current thought on Quantum Physics, chaos theory and genetics and applied these understandings to a new view of the I Ching.

One of Peter Mandel’s motives has been to transcend symptomatic medicine and to work with the deeper conflicts behind illness. Peter Mandel has said that disease is a symbol and that to be fully alive we need to understand and grasp our symbols. The I Ching is a powerful ancient system of symbolic wisdom useful for understanding the conflicts and resultant stasis that lies behind illness. Peter Mandel has connected the 64 Hexagrams to the 64 strands of the DNA.

The treatments in this seminar are used for therapy resistant illnesses and can also be used for anyone interested in making a deeper connection with themselves. By placing the I Ching symbols on the body we activate the inherent knowledge they contain of a coherent idea of the cosmos and we use the Grey Crystals to clear any blocks in reestablishing this connection. 

Practitioners will also learn a simple way of calculating their personal I Ching symbols. These symbols can be given to and used by clients.
